total cost Of the university Is, I am told,

CITY. By the time IL is built the university
will have a close connection with the city by
street or cable cars, and in addition 10 the
advantages Of the university itself the great
scientific. literary and art collections Of
Washington will be opened TO its students.
Washington is destined 10 become the edu-
cational center of the United States. II has
already a number Of schools and colleges, and
there j. no better place in the country for the
study of science, medicine and the law. The
largest medical library in the world is, |
think, that Of the surgeon generals Office,
and the largest general library in the United
States is the library Of congress at the Capt
tol. The scientific collections Of the Smith
sonian institution are surpassed nowhere in
this country, and lectures on scientific sub
jects are given here free throughout the year.
A. % the law colleges OF Washington. the most
eminent lawyers OF the country are here, and
the best Of these lecture 10 the students. The
courts are Of every kind, from the lowest 20
the highest, and the supreme court Of the
United States holds open sessions. The gov

The announcement In q special yester-
day evening to the TINES that the Vol
unteer had won the first Of the interns-
tional Yacht races, with the details OF the
contest as set forth in our later dis
matches. confirm fully the theory We adj
vanced some time ago, viz That the
English Yacht was the result of 4 single
departure from the old cutter model,
while the American boat is the result OF
a system Of experiments made upon 8
line Of development in ship building
which began with the Old America, and
since that has been modifying the broad
and round American model until 1t has
attained the advantages of the cutter
and the sloop both by studying the mer-
its and faults OF each.
Without pretending to any skill, II
looks like a common sense view oil the
problem that the best sailing racer to-day
~approaches very near to the model OF the
.sayage's boat, a most symmetrical craft
whose beautiful lines are the result OF q
study of the fish and the swan, making
allowances for the propelliDg power OF
the wind as opposed to the padding
c,pacity of the fish and bird. The curl
Gus and interesting thing TO the average
reader is that yachts, like all other sail
ing craft. approach each other SO nearly
in speed. The next two races will be
watched with great interest. We still
believe that the Volunteer is the best
boat. and will beat the Scotch yacht
always under fair conditions.

met by the incorporation in then Novem-

complete refutation OF the idea SO
widely entertained that the breadth
OF wheat culture in India is rapidly in.

statement that pleaded weak action Of

I am not aware of such weakness and GER

examiners never referred to this, my only
weakness being in my left lung, which does

cation that all OF the company's

Fighting unbelievers.

| never knew clergyman who had
tact to making failure in his calling,
and have seen magnificent pulpit
talents brought into the dust because
OF q lack in this direction. One of our
successful city preachers OF fifty years
ago had this quality in its perfection.
and a story in illustration of it comes
back to me as l write. There were
Ingersolls in his day, for the genial
agnostic OF that name who has hit so
much more happily than his predeces.
sors the vein of coming his airy un-
belief into substantial dollars is not q
new creation. by any means. On one
occasion the clergyman was travelling
in a stagecoach in company with a
noisy talker who persisted in thrust
ing upon his fellow passengers the fact
that he did not believe in. the bible
In particular he was severe upon the
writer who had alleged that Joshua
commanded the sun to stand still and
look on while he wiped out
the heattfen. The clergy man had
been measuring up his companion
and at this point he spoke out. "Did
you ever read the further explana-
tion of that miracle given in the book
OF Zerubbabel?" he inquired. eyes, l
have" snapped the learned infidel,
''and that doesn't throw any light
upon it, either" A general roar Of
laughter, which followed this confes-
sion of ignorance, ended the contro-
versy and bottled up the agnostic.
On another occasion this same
clergyman was annoyed by a bus
tling denominat.onal preacher who
walked up to him IN public,
and, in voice that arrest
ed the attention Of all within
hearing, challenged him to a con-
troversy on the apostolic succession.
The challenged man turned sharply
and said: ''Can you repeat the Lords

man. II want todiscuss : ''Sir.
